I have a nearly-9-year-old neutered male "domestic shorthair" cat named Satey who has many oriental personality traits. For the first couple of years of his life he was acquainted with his brother, but when we moved to a new house, brother went to my sister's room, and Satey stayed in my room. Now Satey is all but antisocial and favors me, rarely letting other humans in the house pet him except whe I am not around to see. Brother cat died almost 3 years ago, but after a few months of being seperated from each other Satey would have nothing to do with brother cat anyway.
ANYWAY my problem is that every once in awhile Satey will just bite my hand or arm HARD and put his ears back and flinch like he just knows that he's done something wrong :evilalien: . I was just wondering if he does this out of boredom and perhaps needs a new companion or what. I never hit my cat so it's not like he's "getting back" at me or something. Usually he'll come up to me all snuggly-like and purring, and let me pet him for a few, when he'll turn on me and just bite the heck out of my hand. This doesn't happen when I touch any certain area on his body or anything, it's just like he gets frustrated with me.
Other than this, he's a good cat, and the biting doesn't happen very often. Maybe once every 2 weeks or so.If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts on the matter, please reply
